China has sent a plane on Monday to the Italian city of Milan to evacuate Chinese citizens and students from the areas worst-hit by the Coronavirus pandemic, according to China state-run TV network (CCTV).
The TV channel added that the flight carried 125 citizens to Wenzhou in Zhejiang province.
"The concerned departments underwent medical check-up, and health inspections on all travelers," CCTV noted.
It is worth mentioning that, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 121,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
More cases of the virus, which causes respiratory disease Covid-19, continue to emerge, with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy, and Iran.
Italy recorded 368 more deaths from the coronavirus outbreak on Sunday, its biggest one day rise, amid growing concern about the ability of its strained health system to cope with the relentless increase in new cases.
Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough. They can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.
